Party Banter Meme

[faderifting]

In the Dragon Age games, as you travel Thedas with your best pals, they have a lot of short conversations about politics, the weather, butts, etc. So this is the Fade Rift equivalent, in four easy steps!

1. Imagine your characters are on a very long walk toward a mission objective, or on a very long walk back after kicking ass, or standing guard together, or gathering herbs, or working in the library late at night, or something. Anything sort of boring that might make people want to have a dumb conversation just to break things up a bit.

OPTIONAL ASSISTANT: Since so many people reported being out of it, we made a random generator to help you come up with some general banter prompts for your top-levels.

2. Post a few remarks your character might say (similar to TFLN, except spoken out loud and less ridiculous and sexy, maybe. maybe not. we don’t know your life) while passing the time.

3. Tag around to reply to those general remarks or to start new/wildcard conversations! Threads should be pretty short and involve minimal action; there’s no need to turn anything into a big production. Multiperson threads are encouraged. Series of conversations between the same two characters occurring on different days are also encouraged.

4. Gather up all of your little conversation snippets like a bouquet and keep them forever, because they’re game canon. Banter threads can't be used for Base AC, but do count towards AC Rewards points.

I... D'accord. Stay here.

[ Not that Skull has a choice. He's getting tucked against a fence out of sight. But then, FOR LOVE, Bastien steals the boot. Sort of. He doesn't steal it so much as he talks him into letting them use it, because his ability to talk people into giving him things is like times 200 when the target is drunk.

On return, he turns the boot this way and that for Skull's inspection. ]

Good enough? I can put it back if it is not.

HMMMM...NO. FIND SOMEONE WITH FATTER ANKLES. THE ROOTS WILL NEED ROOM TO SPREAD.

That is a good point. I will have to leave you here again. If anyone tries to take you, scream as loud as you can—if that does not make them change their minds, I will make sure I am close enough to hear you and come help.

[ If he could wave him off, he would. As it is he makes an inarticulate yeah, yeah, fine, noise and resigns himself to wait.

He doesn't scream, and no matter how long Bastien takes Skull's response to his return is: ]

BACK SO SOON? NOBODY'S EVEN ATTEMPTED TO STEAL ME YET! I EVEN ASKED A SMALL CHILD IF IT WANTED TO, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE GUTTERSNIPE SAID? GO ON. GUESS.
